Hopefully they also have a credit in their bank account.

Drove past Glen Canyon dam the other day. Everything in the area has high water due to early snow melt, and yet powell lake and glen canyon are noticeably low. Gonna be bad year for anyone downstream.
- Comment on Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs 2 weeks ago:
The Private Eye by Brian K Vaughn used that as a premise (set in 2076) for a comic run about a decade ago.

As someone with anosmia, I can confirm my farts don’t smell.
- Comment on 'Disgusting': Republicans Applaud as Trump Brags About Taking Food Aid From Millions | Common Dreams 2 weeks ago:
He phrased it as ‘lifting people off of food stamps.’ Pure evil.

I really hope it works out with them, on paper it’s everything I’m looking for.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 3 weeks ago:
He already did this during the first term. There wasn’t anything interesting, but it did distract the conspiracy folks.
- Comment on Super Bowl Ad for Ring Cameras Touted AI Surveillance Network 4 weeks ago:
Have been for a while. I think this is them getting ahead of more people realizing it. Puts it into the frame they want as opposed to ‘every step you take is being tracked.’
- Comment on US | Trump Claims 'Concept of a Deal' Reached for Greenland, Says He'll Cancel New Tariffs 1 month ago:
Had a coworker tonight come over and brag about how there was a deal made for allowing a military base and paying for mineral rights. So we burned the last of our goodwill with the world to get what we already had and his supporters are eating it up.
- Comment on ICE Wants to Go After Dissenters as well as Immigrants 2 months ago:
Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 months ago:
MS CoPilot One 365 coming soon!
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 months ago:
If true, then it is beyond dumb. When I need to do office related work, ie typing a document or using spreadsheets, the most relevant term would be office. Not a term that is a reference to flying a plane.
Of course I don’t use microsoft for anything, but it is wild to watch that company completely forget what it is that they do.
- Comment on Bezos-Owned Newspaper Bashes Medicare for All in Christmas Day Editorial 2 months ago:
Kinda wild how many billionaires thought christmas of all days was the time to make grand statements about medicare for All. Mark Cuban spent a good amount of his day engaging and getting dragged by people on bluesky over it.
- Comment on As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity 4 months ago:
I had dual boot with win10 for a while, but when they had that ‘bug’ that was wiping peoples linux partition I dropped Windows completely. As dar as I’m concerned Linux and other FOSS in general has reached a point where it meets the majority of my needs. Same goes for local storage vs needing anything through the cloud or streeaming.

I mean, the apostle Paul, who wrote like half of the New Testament, was a literal Pharisee. He ‘converted,’ and took over after the fact.

Only tangible thing it produces.

- Comment on Cyclops would be a very different character if his eyelids weren't laserproof 6 months ago:
Wasn’t it Ruby (or sapphire) back in the day? Might’ve just been the cartoon but I think they had that in there at some point. It’s such a weird power that at I think writers just go with whatever they can to carry the story forward.
- Comment on One long sentence is all it takes to make LLMs to ignore guardrails 6 months ago:
I am almost positive all of these articles like this are still just marketing for AI. Even in these comments, there are multiple ‘I used it and (blah blah ai blah). Seems ripped from the Hot Coffee mod style of interest farming.
- Comment on Intel warns shareholders that the US government's 10% stake could hurt company's international sales 6 months ago:
I get what your saying, and if it lead to that then I agree it would be a good thing. But that isn’t what this is or how it is going to move things forward. It’d be like thinking that universities will thrive because Trump is normalizing govt involvement in them over the Harvard threats and expansion beyond.
Linking the altruistic potential of what he is doing to the very obvious extortion is carrying his water in terms of acceptance. It’s the same as what has allowed him to skate in the media for so long instead of calling out what it actually is.
- Comment on Intel warns shareholders that the US government's 10% stake could hurt company's international sales 6 months ago:
Intel is just the easy one for people to get on board woth, as they are struggling and have received grants etc. Lutnicknalready said they want to do the same with Lockheed-Martin, who does jot have the same issues, amd expamding from there. I fully disagree with the notion being put forth that this is comparable to other nations ‘socializing’ their industries. This is Trump taking a cut. He attacked Intel, attacked their ceo and m threatened to have him removed. The ceo then bowed and is apparently giving up 10% of the company and is being called a genius by Trump now. It’s extortion.

Deal hasn’t even been finalized yet, and already they announce its gonna cause problems. Everything he touches turns to shit.
- Comment on Google encouraging healthy uses of their new AI image generator 6 months ago:
The fake life on social thing is very weird to me. It’s one (if that) step removed from pathological lying. Idk, I just don’t see how trying to make others jealous of a thing that I never did would make me feel better. I guess it’s the dopamine hit of a ‘like’, but to me it just seems totally disconnected.
I can understand overplaying something you did a little, but to use the article example of a woman laying in a field with an astronaut, is there really that many people going ‘well me and my boyfriend had a great date the other day. Sorry you can’t meet him, he’s back in fucking space. Long distance is hard.’
- Comment on Google encouraging healthy uses of their new AI image generator 6 months ago:
I legitimately do not understand how this is a thing that people want. Never in my life have I thought to myself ‘I’d really like a realistic looking photo of myself doing something that did not happen.’ Like, outside of scammers, why is this something somebody would want?
- Comment on Trump threatens tariffs on countries that ‘discriminate’ against US tech 6 months ago:
Like three days after ‘normalizing trade with the EU’, it’s right back to antagonizing and tariff threats. Who could have seen this sudden reversal coming?
- Comment on US | Hegseth fires general whose agency's intel assessment of damage from Iran strikes angered Trump 6 months ago:
I saw someone write a thing about how that aspect puts him as more of a stalin dictator than hitler. Executed so many people for delivering truthful bad news that any grasp on a situation was out of reach.

Breonna Taylor would also like a word, but she was killed in a no knock raid on the wrong house while she slept.
- Comment on We hate AI because it's everything we hate 6 months ago:
I believe the OP was referring more to consumers of ai in the statement, as opposed to people trying to sell content or whatever, which would be more in line with what you’re saying. I agree with both perspectives and I think the Op i quoted probably would as well. I just thought it was a good description of some of the why ai sucks, but certainly nit all of it.
